the advocates of the so called new
process" of brine sailing butter are fitting
opinions quite freely with the advocates
of the old method Of dry salting." There
are successful butter workers on both
sides, which makes it appear that each
method possesses merits and that each
produces a good quality of butter. The
question to be decided seems TO be which
method involves the least labor. AS high
authority rs I. ID. Curtis takes the ground
that dry sailing is equally advantageous
with the new process and less trouble
some. He claims that the easiest way to
salt butter is the usual one viz: apply
ing the salt direct to the butter when it
has reached the granular state.

''Earthing up" or "handling" celery, rs
the earlier process of banking is variously
termed, begins about six weeks after the
plants have been set out or rs soon as the
stalks begin to lie down. The object of
this earthing is to keep the stalks upright
and cause u new growth to start the best
for eating. The usual plan is when the
plants are quite dry to compress the
stalks with the left hand and crowd earth
about them with the other.
A great point is to prevent dry earth
falling between the stalks; it must be
firmed about them in such manner as to
keep the plants straight and compact. The
first earthing up is from two to four
inches high, enough to keep the plant
straight, More soil is gradually drawn
up to the plant by means of hoe or pillow
until the banking is completed. The bank
is best made broad at the base and the

been very satisfactory and one hundred
thousand dollars has been subscribed. This
amount was obtained from the citizens OF

their appreciation of the compliment paid
the city in selecting it for the twenty-tirst

General Fairchild has determined that G.

this restriction it is known that siXty-tive
